    I've learned a lot from your tutorials. And I'm very excited, because I've had a lot of questions answered. I congratulate you because you explain very well, straight to the point and your videos are easy to understand. But, I still have a question, a doubt: when should I apply the high-pass filter? when I start editing or after applying all the settings (levels, curves, etc.) because I have done it both ways and after resizing the image, for example to 1000 px 300 dpi, and saving it in JPG, my image is seen with too much contrast and noise. I appreciate you helping me with the doubt. Greetings from Colombia. Yuli

    Your tutorials are awesome! Thank you and keep it up........ Just a thought for the advanced sharpening....... You said the drawback to this method is that there is only 1 mask for the smart filters. Wouldn't it be a better method for workflow, if you started by doing high pass the typical way (make copy of layer, choose high pass, change blending mode to overlay) THEN select the layer AND the high pass layer and put them in a Group (CTRL G), then convert the group to a smart object? That way, you can continue editing by adding adjustment layers, and then if you decide you wanted to do advanced sharpening to the eyes, hair, or whatever, you could simply click on the smart object to open and add as many high pass layers with their own masks as you like, then save the file and it will update the smart object that way.

    Hi there, thanks for your videos, I ask ... How can I distinguish or calculate how much sharpening should I use on the photo depending on the size of the print? For example, I understand that an 8 × 10 "needs less sharpening than a 50x60", how can I know how much to use in it? Thank you!!

  • @adamada777

    Very useful tutorial! However you can have smart object within the smart object and repeat the process as many times as you need. It gives you ability to mask selectively each effect. I think Mike C mentioned the same (?) here. Congrats!

  • @mikec2845
    @mikec28456 жыл бұрын

    You mention at the end of the video that you can't have individual masks for smart filters, which is true. But you can have a group as a smart object! The easiest way is to have your layers in your main image, finalize touchups and sharpening, and then select all of the layers and hit 'Convert to Smart Object'. This means you can go back in and tweak it later, just like you showed here, except with individual masks and layers. You can even add more adjustment layers and masks within that smart object! Hope this helps someone. 😊

    You simply select multiple layers and convert them to a single smart object. (That from that point on, acts as one single layer in the main file.) However, as with any smart object, if you double click it, you open the contents of the smart object, and then edit it. I can make a video demonstrating this if you still don't understand. :)

    I tried this technique and it worked really well and then I went to save the file. All went normally. Then, I went to upload the file it wasn't there! It shows up in the Ps file list, but not in Flickr's or in File explorer. The only thing that was really new to me was when you instructed to unlock the layer. I don't know if that is an issue?

    Here is an easy solution for the "only one mask"-problem. Convert your image to a smartobject>duplicate it>then make it a high pass>overlay If you now make changes to the mainlayer inside the smartobject the duplicates of this smartobject get changed as well and since these are your high pass filter, they get changes based on the mainlayer. You can have as many masks as you want. Just duplicate the mainlayer that is already a smartobject

    I still don't get why PSD files 'have' to include all the source images and be so large. It seems it could be a text-like file the contains all the edit information with links to the source images. When you open it, it performs the edits and you can continue. Sort of like actions but specific to that image and no need to 'record'. Save As PDFA (actions only). Sorry for this as it is off-topic, but it seems like a lot of 'tricks' have to do with reducing layers so you don't have enormous files. There certainly are instances where you want everything in the file, but most of the time I don't. I would just like to have options without clunky 'actions'. Rant over. :)
